Keynote Speakers

Speech Title: Pressurized Casting of Mg-Zn Alloys for Biodegradable Applications:

Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Refined Microstructure

Prof. Hongfa (Henry) Hu

University of Windsor, Canada

Dr. Hongfa (Henry) Hu is a tenured full Professor at Department of

Mechanical, Automotive & Materials Engineering, University of Windsor.

He was a senior research engineer at Ryobi Die Casting (USA), and a Chief

Metallurgist at Meridian Technologies, and a Research Scientist at Institute of Magnesium

Technology. He received degrees from University of Toronto (Ph.D., 1996), University of Windsor

(M.A.Sc., 1991), and Shanghai University of Technology (B.A.Sc., 1985). He was a NSERC

Industrial Research Fellow (1995-1997). His publications (over 150 papers) are in the area

of magnesium alloys, composites, metal casting, computer modelling, and physical

metallurgy. He was a Key Reader of the Board of Review of Metallurgical and Materials

Transactions, a Committee Member of the Grant Evaluation Group for Natural Sciences and

Engineering Research Council of Canada, National Science Foundation (USA) and Canadian

Metallurgical Quarterly. He has served as a member or chairman of various committees for

CIM-METSOC, AFS, and USCAR.

The applicant’s current research is on materials processing and evaluation of light alloys and

composites. His recent fundamental research is focussed on transport phenomena and

mechanisms of solidification, phase transformation and dissolution kinetics. His applied

research has included development of magnesium automotive applications, cost-effective

casting processes for novel composites, and control systems for casting processes. His work

on light alloys and composites has attracted the attention of several automotive companies.

Abstract: Mg-Zn alloys have been demonstrated to be a good candidate for biodegradable

applications. In the present work, Zinc (Zn) addition varying from 1.0 up to 10.0 wt. % was

introduced into liquid magnesium. The alloyed liquid was squeeze cast under an applied

pressure of 90 MPa. The results of mechanical testing on the squeeze cast Mg-Zn alloys

shows that Zn is an effective additive for enhancing their mechanical properties, specifically,

tensile and yield strengths at room temperature, but reducing the elongation. While the Zn

addition rises from 1.0 to 10.0 wt.%, the ultimate tensile and yield strengths increases to

181.0 MPa and 105.0 MPa from 140.7 MPa and 39.3 MPa, while the elongation-to-failure (ef)

decreases to 3.7% from 6.2%, respectively. The reveal of the as-cast grain structure by an

optical microscope (OM) indicates that the high Zn content reduces grain sizes considerably.

The microstructures analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with the energy

dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) show that the secondary MgZn phase forms once Zn is

introduced in sufficient amount. The grain refinement and the massive presence of the

secondary MgZn phase at the boundaries of the refined grains should be responsible to the

enhancement of the strengths and the reduction in the elongation. The developed

pressurized casting without employing secondary manufacturing processes such as

extrusion or heat treatment exhibits its advantages to enhance the mechanical properties of

the Mg alloys with high Zn content over conventional fabrication processes, since high

Zn-containing Mg alloys have a long freezing range and tend to form microshrinkage

porosity.

Speech Title: Transparent P-type Wide Gap Semiconductors

Prof. Hao Gong

National University of Singapore, Singapore

Dr. Hao GONG is a Full Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at

National University of Singapore. He is also the coordinator of the

transmission electron microscopy laboratory at Department of Materials Science and

Engineering. His research interests include transparent oxide conductors and

semiconductors (n-type and p-type), energy storage materials and devices (mainly

functional thin film and nano-materials, materials characterization (mainly on transmission

electron microscopy and electron diffraction).

Dr. Gong received his B.S. degree in Physics at Yunnan University in 1982. He passed his M.S.

courses in Yunnan University, carried out his M.S. thesis research work at Glasgow

University, UK, and received M.S. degree of Electron and Ion Physics at Yunnan University in

1987. He then did his PhD at Materials Laboratory at Delft University of Technology, the

Netherlands, and obtained PhD degree there in 1992. He joined National University of

Singapore in 1992, and is currently full professor at Department of Materials Science and

Engineering. He has published about 200 refereed papers in major international journals and

a few US patents. He has delivered several invited talks at international conferences. He has

been chairman or committee member of several international conferences, and editor of

special issues of some journal.

Abstract: Wide gap semiconductors can be transparent to visible light under certain

conditions. They have a wide range of applications for such as display panels, solar cells,

invisible electronics, etc. For visible light, the band gap should be great than 3 eV. Wide gap

materials are basically insulators. With innovative ideas and great efforts, a few materials

have been turned to be n-type conducting or semiconducting, and used as electrodes in

display panels, solar cells and light emitting and detecting devices. However, they are not

used for p-n junctions, as it is very difficult to achieve p-type counterparts. This

presentation will be on the achievement of n-type as well as p-type transparent

semiconductors. Their use as active device materials will be presented. Results will be

discussed.

Speech Title: Visualizing uptake of gold nanoparticles in live breast cancer cells and

Zebra Fish

Prof. Ju Chou

Florida Gulf Coast University, USA

Dr. Ju Chou is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of

Chemistry and Physics at Florida Gulf Coast University. Dr. Chou

received her Ph.D. in chemistry from Chinese Academy of Science,

Changchun, China in 1995. After that, Dr. Chou has worked as a

postdoctoral fellow in RIKEN Research Institute in Japan for a year during 1996-1997. She

came to the United States as a visiting research scholar working at University of

California-Irvine and later at University of California-Santa Barbara, respectively. Dr. Chou’s

research areas include bio-electrochemistry of proteins such as cytochrome c, myoglobin and

hemoglobin, bioaccumulation of trace elements in tissues, synthesis and characterization of

nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles and their biomedical applications. Dr. Chou’s

recent research interests also include green synthesis of gold nanoparticles and

environmental analysis of toxic metals in water, soil and human hair. She has also been

collaborating with biology professors on the application of gold nanoparticles in biological

systems such as cancer cells and zebrafish embryos. This research focuses on the design of

model nanoparticles for potential application in in vitro and in vivo assays of studying

toxicity, biocompatibility and transport of gold nanoparticles.

Abstract: Gold nanoparticles possess distinctive physicochemical properties and can be used

as unconventional therapeutic approaches for targeting of cancer cells. However, the

mechanism of the interaction between gold nanoparticles and cancer cells is still not clear.

The purpose of this study was to grow gold nanoparticles with controlable particle sizes and

use them to study their transport and diffusion in live breast cancer cells MCF-7 and zebra

fish. We treated MCF-7 with 8 nm gold nanoparticles for 72 hours and visualized gold

nanoparticles in the live cancer cells for different transport times. A dark field optical

microscope (DFOM) was used to examine their transport and accumulation in the cancer

cells as shown in Figure 1. Two concentrations of gold nanoparticles were tested in MCF7

cancer cells to determine the transport rate of the gold nanoparticles in the cancer cells. The

results show that gold nanoparticles were able to enter not only cell membranes, but also

nucleus of cancer cells. The transport or accumulation rate of gold nanoparticles in cancer

cells was dependent on the time and the concentration of gold nanoparticles.

Speech Title: Plasma Surface Modification for Interfacial Bonding Enhancement in

Dental Restorations

Prof. Qingsong Yu

University of Missouri, USA

Dr. Qingsong Yu is a Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical and

Aerospace Engineering at University of Missouri in the United States. Dr.

Yu’s research has been focusing on non-thermal gas plasma technology

and its applications in materials processing, surface modification, thin

film deposition, and recently in plasma medicine and plasma dentistry.

Dr. Yu received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University of China, and his M.S.

and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Missouri (1995, 1998). Since then, Dr.

Yu has worked in microelectronics industry at Silicon Valley in California. In 2002, he joined

the faculty in the Department of Chemical Engineering at University of Missouri and now he

is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at University of

Missouri. Dr. Yu has published over 100 refereed research papers in major international

journals and holds a few US patents.

Abstract: Acrylic resins have received widespread clinical acceptance in dentistry, such as

dental restoration and treatment of caries. Interface bonding is the most crucial factor for the

success of these dental procedures. This talk will introduce our recent research results on

plasma treatment effects on improving adhesive/dentin interface bonding.

Extracted unerupted human third molars were used after crown removal to expose the

dentin surface. A non-thermal atmospheric plasma brush was used to modify/prepare dentin

surfaces prior to traditional dental composite restoration procedures. Dental adhesives

including total etch and self-etch adhesives and dental composite were applied to the dentin

surfaces as directed by manufacturers’ instructions. Micro-tensile bonding strength test

results showed that, as compared with the untreated controls, the bonding strength with

plasma treatment increased over 30% for total etch adhesive and over 22% for self-etch

adhesive. SEM examination did show that, with plasma treated dentin, thicker hybrid layer

and longer resin tags were formed at the interface to enhance the interfacial bonding. The

improved interfacial bonding through plasma treatment will greatly improve the successful

rate and longevity of dental restoration. The results obtained in this study, therefore, show

the great promise of atmospheric plasma technology in dental clinical applications.

This study was supported in part by US National Institute of Health with grant numbers of

5R44DE019041 and 1R01DE021431. Meng Chen and Qingsong Yu have an equity interest in

Capture and conversion of carbon dioxide by solar heat localization

Mr. Varun Kashyap and Hadi Ghasemi

University of Houston, USA

As the world slowly transitions from conventional fossil fuels to renewable forms

of energy, environmentally friendly CO2 capture is urgently needed. Currently,

liquid amine and ionic liquid-based systems are utilized for this purpose. However,

these forms of capture mostly lead to the formation of stable carbamate salts with

high enthalpy of formation, and it is therefore difficult to recover the initial liquid

for cyclic operation. Furthermore, amine-based technologies pose concerns

including toxic emissions and volatility, while ionic liquid-based systems suffer

from complexity of liquid handling and high operational cost. Herein, we report a

solid-state sustainable CO2 collector (SCC), which is activated by solar heat

localization. This stable cyclic SCC is based on ionic liquids and graphene aerogel,

which undergoes solid–liquid phase change to efficiently capture and convert CO2.

The SCC captures 0.2 moles of CO2 for every mole of ionic liquid and converts the

absorbed CO2 into useful byproducts, including water and calcium carbonate in

each cycle. A system prototype of the SCC is developed and demonstrated. The

SCC provides a new and promising paradigm to efficiently capture and convert

CO2 using abundant solar energy to address global emissions and consequent

environmental challenges.

F007-A 14:20-14:40

Noble-Metal-Free Cobalt Sulfide Dots Modified Sulfur Doped Carbon Nitride

Microtube for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Dr. Quanhao Shen, Lingfei Wei, Naixu Li and Jiancheng Zhou

Southeast University, China

Hydrogen as a clean and renewable energy for replacing the traditional fossil fuel

has been received great attention in recent years. Solar-energy-driven hydrogen

evolution mediated by semiconductor material is a promising way to realize energy

harvest and storage without any pollution. The key factor for photocatalytic

hydrogen evolution is to design efficient and stable photocatalytic materials to

avoid recombination of photogenerated carriers, enhance the visible light absorption

and accelerate the interfacial reaction. In this work, a novel CoSx dots loaded sulfur

doped C3N4 microtube was synthesized via facile and eco-friendly chemical

precipitation process. The photocatalysts were systematically studied by FTIR,

ICAFM 2019

- 16 -

XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and XPS techniques. The results exhibited that CoSx dots

with diameter of 3-5 nm deposited on the surface of sulfur doped C3N4 microtube

in high dispersion and uniformity, which is ascribed to numerous nucleation sites

supplied by high surface area of sulfur doped C3N4 and rapid nucleation procedure

in synthesis process. The CoSx dots loading lower the hydrogen evolution

overpotential and promote the photogenerated carrier separation induced by

interfacial charge transfer compared with pure sulfur doped C3N4 microtube. The

optimal 2.4% CoSx/sulfur doped C3N4 photocatalyst showed an excellent

photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 573.06 μmol·g-1·h-1, which even

exceeded that of 0.75 wt% Pt/sulfur doped C3N4. This demonstrated that the CoSx

dots work as a potential candidate to achieve noble-metal-free photocatalytic

hydrogen evolution. This work provides a new insight to structure control and

non-noble metal cocatalyst loading of carbon nitride-based composite nanomaterial

for improving H2 production performance.

Synthesis of porous ZnO films on quartz substrates by thermal oxidation and

oxidant atmosphere effect

Ms. Y.M. Hernández-Rodríguez, S Tehuacanero-Cuapa, R. Peña-Sierra and G.

Romero Paredes

CINVESTAV, México

The synthesis and characterization of porous ZnO films using a two stage process

by thermal oxidation using a bilayer precursor film (ZnO/Zn) consisting of a Zn

film covered with a ZnO nanofilm formed on quartz substrates is reported. The Zn

films of 50 nm were grown by DC sputtering method at 300K. In the first stage

bilayer precursor films (BPF) of ZnO/Zn were produced by growing a ZnO

nanofilm on Zn films by thermal oxidation at 350 °C by 30 min in N2 atmosphere

containing 5 ppm of O2, and in the second stage the BPFs were oxidized at 800 °C

for one hour either in dry N2, dry or wet air with 42% of humidity. The produced

porous ZnO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron

microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements. The results revealed

the role of the oxygen content and the relevance of the humidity content in the

processing atmosphere. When the BPF was oxidized in N2 with low oxygen content

nanoporous ZnO films of wurtzite phase with its c-axis perpendicular to the plane

of the substrate were produced. When rich oxygen content oxidation atmospheres

were used, either in dry or wet air, nanoporous ZnO films with three main crystallite

orientations (100), (002) and (101), were produced. The optical transmittance

characteristics at the band edge region were strongly influenced by the humidity

content but induce the formation of reproducible nanoporous ZnO films with sizes

of ≈ 10 nm.

Titanium dioxide nanocomposites as environmentally photocatalysts for the

degradation of different organic pollutants in water

Dr. Halema Alkandari, Shekhah Alkandari, Ahmed Mohamed and Aboubakr

Abdullah

College of Health Sciences, Kuwait

Commercial nanoparticles P25 TiO2 was loaded with reduced graphene oxide, and

carbon nitride using hydrothermal treatment method. All as-prepared photocatalysts

were characterized using bulk and surface techniques such as IR, Raman, and XPS.

Also, their band gap energies were also measured. It was reveled that addition of

carbonaceous materials reduced the band gap energy of TiO2 nanocomposites, so

its photocatalytic performance using visible light was significantly enhanced. For

example, all the as-prepared photocatalyst showed excellent degradation of organic

compounds such as phenol, para nitrophenol and dyes such as methylene blue upon

their irradiation of sun-simulated light in presence of both O3 and H2O2. Complete

degradation of methylene blue, and more than 90% degradation of phenol were

obtained in 30 minutes only.

Synthesis and Characterization of Gold Nanoparticles on AluminaMembrane for

Biomarkers Detection by SERS

Prof. Oscar E. Cigarroa-Mayorga, Angel Guillen-Cervantes, Bibiana

Chávez-Munguía, Salvador Gallardo-Hernández and Patricia Talamás-Rohana

UPIITA-Instituto Politécnico Nacional, México.

In this work, the synthesis of SERS substrates based on Gold-nanoparticles on

alumina were achieved. In order to obtain the substrates, a porous Aluminum

anodized oxide (AAO) surface was synthesized and a layer of Gold (Au) was

deposited with two thicknesses: 15 and 100 nm. To raise the Au-nanoparticles array,

the samples were thermally treated in a Nitrogen atmosphere for 15 min at 450 °C.

Afterward, four solutions of rhodamine (29.22 x10-1 mM, 30.2 x10-4 mM, 22.4 x10-7

mM and 15.3 x10-10 mM) were measured on the surface of substrates with an

excitation of 660 nm. The SERS effect was proved in the synthesized substrates by

identifying the rhodamine Raman shift through dilutions. Raman mapping

demonstrates the homogeneity of the SERS effect in the samples.

Development of a composite material based on polymers Polydimethylsiloxane and

Polytetrafluoroethylene use in human prosthetic coatings

Ms. Ritha Chicaiza, Caterine Donoso and Francisco Quiroz

Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, Ecuador

The purpose of this study is the development of a composite material composed of a

main layer of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a reinforcement of

polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), to be used later in human prosthesis coatings. A

mass ratio of the main layer consisting of PDMS:Tetraethyl orthosilicate

(TEOS):Di-n-butyl tin dilaurate (DBTL) in the range of 33:1:0.5; 25:1:0.5;

10:1:0.5, and the mass ratio of the composite material (PTFE:PDMS) with a range

was evaluated of 1:9; 1:1; 2:3. Obtaining the following results: Tensile strength of

0.085 MPa based on the ratio of 33:1:0.5 - 1:9 and 0.59 MPa with respect to the

ratio of 10:1:0.5 - 2:3, evidencing an increase in tensile strength by decreasing the

weight of PDMS and increasing the weight of PTFE. On the other hand, the

composite material obtained is hydrophobic, insoluble in ethanol and water, has a

16:00-16:20 complementary technology to conventional hydrodesulfurization (HDS), which has

limitations in the removal of sulfur aromatic compounds. The extractive

desulfurization of gasoline was evaluated by means of a factorial design to

determine the best extraction conditions, considering temperature (25 and 35 °C),

feed/solvent mass ratio (3/1 and 1/1) and number of extraction stages (1 and 3

stages). The results show a maximum sulfur removal efficiency of 40%. In addition,

the selectivity of [BMIM] [BF4] in the removal of aromatic sulfur compounds from

gasoline, its extraction mechanism and the effects of desulfurization using IL

regenerated by means of washing cycles with water and/or diethyl ether was

investigated.

Infrared and Raman spectra of nanoporous SiO2 matrix filled with BaTiO3

nanoparticles

Prof. Jose Angel Roldan Lopez, Luis Manuel Angelats Silva, Nikita A.

Emelianov and Leonid N. Korotkov

Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego, Peru

Nanocomposite in the form of a porous matrix SiO2 with average pore size of 320

nm filled with barium titanate nanoparticles in paraelectric cubic phase was

obtained. Shift of the stretching vibration of Si–O–Si to higher frequencies caused

by increased strengthening of the network in the matrices has been observed. Also

demonstrated that decrease in the intensity of the absorption relating to Si–O(H)

stretching vibration relative to Si-O(−Si) stretching vibration. Raman scattering

spectra demonstrate the presence of both a cubic and a tetragonal ferroelectric

crystalline phase in the filler nanoparticles. Thus, the mechanical deformation of

nanoparticles in the pores of the matrix can lead to a change in the crystalline

phase of the filler.

Effect of porosity on mechanical properties of Ti-based biomaterials

Prof. Yeon-wook Kim and Tae-hyun Nam

Keimyung University, South Korea

Porous Ti-based shame memory alloys has been considered as one of the promising

biomaterials in surgical implants which have been used in medical fields. The

porous materials have many applications, ranging from spinal fixation to

acetabular hip prostheses, dental implants, and permanent osteosynthesis plates. A

new method to prepare the highly porous shape memory alloys is proposed in this

study. TiNi shape memory alloy fibers were prepared by a melt overflow process.

The martensitic transformation starting temperature of B2→B19’ in the rapidly

solidified fibers was 19 °C. Cylindrical billets of Ti-Ni alloy with 75% porosity

were produced by a vacuum sintering technology using as-cast alloy fibers. Porous

Ti-Ni alloys has been considered as one of the promising biomaterials in surgical

implants which have been used in medical fields. The porous materials have many

applications, ranging from spinal fixation to acetabular hip prostheses, dental

implants, and permanent osteosynthesis plates. The porous bulk specimens, which

have three-dimensional network structure, interconnected pores and high porosity,

were produced using the solid-state sintering of the Ti-Ni alloy fibers and the effect

of the high porosity on the mechanical performances was investigated using

compressive tests. The mechanical properties and shape memory properties of the

highly porous Ti-Ni alloy is investigated using a compressive test. The plateau of

the stress-strain curve was observed at about 7 MPa and resulted in 8% elongation

associated with stress-induced B2→B19’ transformation. It was also found that a

recovered strain was 5.9% on heating after the compressive deformation. This

recovery of the length is ascribed to the shape memory effect which occurs during

the martensitic transformation. Because of the high porosity of this specimen, the

elastic modulus of about 0.95 GPa could be obtained. It was reported that a porous

TiNi bulk with 39.5% porosity exhibited the elastic modulus of 12∼16 GPa. When

compared with those from other studies, the elastic modulus values, which were

obtained in this study, were much lower due to the high porosity.

Enhanced Electromagnetic Wave Shielding Effectiveness of Carbon-based

Nonwoven Fabrics by H2 Plasma Treatment

Sung-Hoon Kim and Ms. Hyun-Ji Kim

Silla University, Republic of Korea

Electromagnetic wave shielding effectiveness of the nonwoven fabrics was

measured in the wide operating frequency range, namely 0.4GHz to 20GHz. The

shielding effectiveness of the woven fabric was below 45dB in the range of

0.04GHz to 15GHz and then it increased to above 45dB in the range of 15GHz to

20GHz. To enhance the electromagnetic wave shielding effectiveness of the

nonwoven fabrics, 3 minutes H2 plasma treatment of the nonwoven fabrics was

carried out under the microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

system. By H2 plasma treatment, the shielding effectiveness of the nonwoven

fabrics was greatly enhanced in the whole operating frequency range. The surface

electron conductivity of the nonwoven fabrics was also enhanced from 2.11 103

S/m to 3.02 103S/m by H2 plasma treatment. The surface and cross sectional

morphologies of the nonwoven fabrics with or without H2 plasma treatment were

investigated and compared with each other. Crystal structure variation of the

nonwoven fabrics by H2 plasma treatment was also investigated. Based on these

results, the cause for the enhancement of the shielding effectiveness of the

nonwoven fabrics by H2 plasma treatment was suggested and discussed.

Mr. Yuan-Teng Kang, Chuh-Yung Chen and Cheng-Chien Wang

National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan

The novel paintings for anti-corrosion protection were prepared by epoxy resin

with the variety sandwich-like polyaniline. The different types of sandwich-like

polyanilines were manufactured via the conducting polyaniline nano-layer coated

on the plate-shape, flower-shape, and branch-shape of the oligo-aniline template,

respectively. The variety shapes of oligo-aniline template could be obtained by

using controlling the polymerization conditions. Characteristic and the morphology

of the variety sandwich-likes polyaniline were identified by using FTIR, UV-vis

and SEM, respectively. The thickness of conducting polyaniline nano-layer coated

on the oligo-aniline template was in the range of 40 nm to 60 nm from SEM

micrographs observation. The conductivity of the variety sandwich-like polyaniline

for the plate-shape, flower-shape, and branch-shape was 2.75 S/cm, 1.27 S/cm,

3.21 S/cm, respectively, after Four-point probe measurement. Furthermore, the

anti-corrosion performance for 100 µm of the novel paintings coating on carbon

steel was measured by using Tafel test. The anti-corrosion efficiency for 1 wt.% of

the plate-shape, flower-shape, and branch-shape sandwich-like polyaniline within

epoxy resin were 83.80%, 65.82%, 62.70%, respectively. The result shows the high

Deposition and UV blocking property of SiO2-TiO2 alternating stack multilayer

film

Mr. Sungwoo Kim, Woochan Jin, Galvez Rita and Chan Park

Seoul National University, Korea

The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) for advanced display technology has

attracted attention due to many advantages such as high luminance, high visibility

and good contrast ratio. OLEDs are widely used in IT applications such as smart

phones, tablets and watches. Even with its commercial success, the short lifetime

of OLED remains an issue which needs to be improved. The degradation caused by

UV is one of the problems which have to be solved in order to improve the lifetime

of OLED. In this study, alternating stack multilayer films which consist of SiO2

and TiO2 with good UV-shielding property were deposited on cell-phone cover

glass by reactive RF magnetron sputtering, and the optical properties of the

deposited films were investigated. The architectures of the multilayer films which

has specific optical properties (transmittance in UV and visible light) were

simulated using a commercial software. The transmittance of the films was

measured using an UV/VIS spectrophotometer. Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and X-ray

reflectivity (XRR) measurements were used to evaluate the thickness of each layer

and the total thickness of the films. Surface morphology and roughness of the films

were examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Optical properties which were

obtained from the multilayer films and those calculated by the software were

compared. The optical properties of multilayer films grown using deposition

parameters which were adjusted from the difference between the measured and

calculated optical properties, will be presented and discussed.

Using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (Abs)

Jhoselyn Reyes Morocho, Andrés Criollo Sánchez and Prof. Marco Singaña,

Caterine Donoso

Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, Ecuador

The present study exhibits the behavior of ABS polymer (acrylonitrile butadiene

styrene) subjected to mechanical compression tests considering two filling patterns,

rectangular and hexagonal; these patterns have been selected due to the geometric

arrangement of their internal structure improves the mechanical properties of 3D

printed parts, in addition to the increase in tensile strength. The specimens were

developed by molten deposition modeling (FDM) under the ASTM D695 standard

in 2015, so five samples of each pattern were made; they have an 80% filler

material. This is due to the demanding mechanical requirement in engineering

applications. The results obtained show that the rectangular fill pattern at 0° and

90° registered the highest compressive strength obtaining as a result an average

compression strength of 4 179.92 N, likewise a percentage of deformation of

5.96% and a maximum compressive strength of 33.147 MPa. Because of the

evidenced data, the rectangular pattern is useful for engineering and industrial

applications, including substituting car parts, machinery or household appliances.

cement

Prof. Lais Alves, Arissa Nogueira, Elaine Vazquez and Silvio de Barros

CEFET/RJ, Brazil

Growing concern about environmental degradation has expanded the search for

new technologies that could ensure sustainable development. In civil construction,

new materials have emerged as alternatives to reduce the impact of the activity on

the environment, one of them is the geopolymer. This material, which can be

characterized as a stable and synthesized composite of aluminosilicate materials,

has emerged as a potential substitute for Portland cement because it presents

similar characteristics of initial strength and good mechanical performance, but

without the high emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) to obtaining it. This work

brings a bibliographic analysis on geopolymer, it is intended to disseminate

knowledge as of the state of the art on geopolymer as cement substitute.

Authors of this article presents the results of experimental research of the

temperature potential of ventilation emissions in apartment buildings in Moscow.

Also this paper offers an analysis and synthesis of technological schemes and

technical solutions for natural ventilation systems used in apartment buildings. The

systems of natural ventilation of lower-cost multi-storey buildings have been

analyzed. The influence of various factors on the parameters of operating modes of

natural ventilation systems have been also analyzed. As a result of the analyses it

has been found, that the operated apartment buildings largely do not ensure air

exchange required according to sanitary regulations, which results in adverse

effects for the health, efficiency and life expectancy of population.

Study of the Attenuation Force Generated by a Magnetorheological Fluid in

Industrial Robot Grippers Shock Absorbers

Juan Carlos Valencia Salinas, Diego Alejandro Jumbo Auquilla and Prof. Marco

Singaña, Caterine Donoso

Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, Ecuador

The attenuation force generated by the use of magnetorheological fluid (FMR)

during the expansion and compression of the shock absorber in robot grippers has

been studied. The shock absorber has a stroke of 25 mm and a volume of 4 071.50

mm3 in which the FMR made up of ferric micro-particles and nanoparticles is

housed; this fluid modifies its rheological properties when exposed to a magnetic

field of variable intensity generated by an electromagnet. The intensity of the

magnetic field is gradually varied in order to obtain an attenuated and controlled

dynamic force in the dissipation of energy. The research includes an analysis of

magnetic field generation with the purpose that the particles of the fluid are aligned

according to the polarity of the flow lines, thus forming a fibrillary structure

chained in a few milliseconds. This magnetic field modifies the viscosity of the

fluid, taking it from a low viscosity to a higher density state without altering its

chemical composition and shape. The results are reflected in the direct correlation

and in the obtaining of data where the saturation of the fluid is given to a maximum

intensity of magnetic flux (B) of 0.01 Tesla; and a damping force of 6,12 Newtons.

This concludes that the theoretical and experimental analysis of attenuation in

FMR based buffers serve to mitigate impact excitations, in order to provide a

buffered velocity of motion.

The influence of the ground thermal energy and borehole heat exchangers depth on

the efficiency of heat pump (GHSP) systems in Moscow geo-climatic conditions

Gregory Vasilyev, Victor Gornov, Alexander Dmitriev and Ms. Marina Kolesova

JSC “INSOLAR-INVEST”, Russia

The article presents the results of the numerical estimation of the influence of

temperature potential of the geothermal heat energy extracted from the soil with

the use of GHSP and borehole heat exchangers depth on the efficiency of the

GSHP systems in Moscow and Moscow region geo-climatic conditions. The

paper provides the assessment of natural temperature potential of geothermal

energy in Moscow region and proposes “typical climatic years” referencing the

natural change of average decade and monthly ground temperatures for Moscow

geo-climatic conditions. The authors found that consumption of ground thermal

energy in specific ground conditions of Moscow region generally results in

decreasement of temperature potential of the extracted heat by 5-6 degrees by the

10th year of operation and by the 15th year the process is stabilized. The studies

in the paper allow establishing that the borehole heat exchanger GSHP efficient

depth for Moscow and Moscow region geo-climatic conditions is close to 60

meters. In this case the temperature potential of the geothermal heat energy

extracted during many years of GSHP usage can be expected at the level of 5-10

degrees below Celsius.

Preparation and numerical simulation of heat transfer performance for methyl

palmitate /expanded graphite phase change composite

Dr. Bichuan Chi; Yan Yao and Suping Cui

Beijing University of Technology, China

Methyl palmitate (MP) is a promising phase change energy storage material. It

features high latent heat, suitable phase change temperature, low degree of

supercooling and so on. However, like other organic phase change materials, the

common problem of lower thermal conductivity makes it unable to perform better

in energy storage. Expanded graphite (EG) has been proven to be high-efficiency

for enhancing the thermal conductivity of organic phase change materials. MP/EG

phase change composite was prepared and characterized in this research, and the

heat transfer performance was numerical simulated by finite element analysis

software ABAQUS. Results show that MP can be absorbed into the layered pores

of EG, and the stable absorption ratio is 77%. Numerical simulation results reveal

that EG can significantly enhance the heat transfer performance of MP. Moreover,

EG can decrease the system temperature gradient during phase change process that

makes the heat transfer and temperature distribution more uniform.

increased considerably the higher value was found at 900 °C. It was determined

that the KIC values for the normalized conditions of 900 ºC and 950ºC, reduce

strongly in both steels with respect to the original condition. However, it is clearly

reflected that for the normalized condition at 1000 °C the KIC is fully recovered,

and for the temperature range of 700 °C to 900 °C, the values of impact toughness

suffer a drastic decrease, caused by the appearance of intermetallic phases.

Scenic Introduction

Temple Square is much more than a religious icon. It's a collage of fascinating history, singular architecture,

and gourmet dining. Temple Square in Salt Lake

City is Utah's most popular tourist destination. Part

of its appeal lies in its accessibility: three city

blocks in downtown Salt Lake City contain nearly

20 attractions related to Mormon pioneer history

and genealogy, including the Salt Lake Temple, the

Tabernacle, and the Family History Library. This

means that visitors can see all or most of these

attractions in a relatively short period of time.

The Beehive House was Brigham Young’s primary residence while serving as President of The Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and governor of the Utah Territory. The house is named for the beehive which

adorns the top of the structure and represents the strong

work ethic exhibited by the early Saints as they labored

to establish the State of Deseret.

Truman O. Angell, architect of the Salt Lake Temple,

assisted President Young in the design of the home.

Upon its completion in 1854, Mary Ann Angell Young

and Lucy Decker Young, two of President Young’s wives,

moved into the Beehive House.1

The Beehive House served as the location where

President Young would entertain distinguished guests

and others who visited the early Salt Lake community

including Mark Twain, Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, and

P.T. Barnum.2 It contained a total of fourteen rooms, which were often occupied with visitors and guests.

Utah State Capitol Building: For nearly a century, the State Capitol has been one of Utah’s most prominent

landmarks. Designed by local architect Richard K.

A. Kletting, the Capitol has been home to state

government since its opening in 1916. From 2004 to

2008, the Utah State Capitol underwent one of the

largest historical preservation projects in the United

States. In addition to safe-guarding the building

against the risk of an earthquake, the project also

repaired and restored the original beauty and

artwork of the Capitol. Each year, thousands of

people visit the Capitol to witness its modern

magnificence and historic significance. The Capitol

Building is open 7 days a week for public access.

Free guided tours start on the hour and run from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday, with the exception of

state holidays. The last tour begins at 4:00 p.m.

Hill Aerospace Museum is located on approximately 30 acres of the northwest corner of Hill Air Force Base,

five miles south of Ogden, Utah. The Museum, which opened in 1986, was founded in 1981 as a part of the United

States Air Force Heritage Program. The Utah Museum moved to its current facility in 1991 and hosted its four

millionth visitor in the spring of 2014. More than

320,000 visitors, coming from every state and from

many foreign countries, visited the Museum last year.

Not only does the Museum have close to 100 aircraft

displayed in its two inside galleries and outside air

park, it exhibits thousands of artifacts depicting the

history of aviation of the United States Air Force, Hill

Air Force Base and the State of Utah.

Antelope Island State Park is a great place to view wildlife. The island was without its namesake antelope for

many years, but they were reintroduced in 1993 and can now

be seen in many areas of the park. Deer, bobcats, coyotes,

many varieties of birds and waterfowl also call the island

home. But most famous is Antelope Island's American Bison,

introduced to the island in 1893 and now numbering some

600 animals. Wild animals are often seen by people driving

the park roads and hiking or biking the park's trails. The

annual bison roundup each fall is a particularly good time to

view the bison.

The Great Salt Lake is one of the most asked-about tourist destinations in Utah. A remnant of the massive

ancient Lake Bonneville, the lake is now landlocked

and its waters are salty. It is the largest lake between

the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean, and is the

largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere.

Legends abound about the lake. Early explorers

thought the lake was an inland extension of the Pacific

Ocean, or that a river connected the lake to the ocean.

Some Indians and early settlers thought the lake was

inhabited by a terrible monster with an enormous head.

The lake and its legends are an intriguing part of

Utah's landscape and history.
